Summary

Rebel News UK reporter, Louis Brackpool, joins me to talk about his journey from YouTube to the streets of London to becoming a full-time reporter. We talk about how he got started in journalism, what it's like being a conservative in the UK, and why he thinks there's a lot of division in politics.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Turn off the stupid Carnation Street, the BBC, and do some research.
00:00:05.560 Our lives are being destroyed by the very people we are paying to govern us, and they're not.
00:00:10.080 You know, it could go one of two ways.
00:00:11.920 You know, if there's enough people, we will get rid of this regime and we'll have our freedoms back.
00:00:23.100 Louis Brackpool is the Rebel News UK reporter.
00:00:25.700 You can find him at protests, power plants, wherever you may see him on the London streets, and he's usually wearing a suit while he does it.
00:00:33.080 Louis, thanks for joining me. How are you?
00:00:35.680 Yeah, I'm very well, man. Thank you very much for having me on.
00:00:38.480 No problem. I wanted to ask you, how did you get into reporting?
00:00:41.780 How did you get started with Rebel News?
00:00:43.660 Is it as simple as I think it might be, or is it a long, winding road?
00:00:49.360 I thought it was going to be a long, winding road, if I'm totally honest, but it wasn't.
00:00:53.580 I built myself up on YouTube for about a year.
00:00:58.240 I had an unfortunate job cancellation and redundancy from my previous job, which led me to be free in freedom of speech and everything,
00:01:11.240 because I couldn't speak my mind as a conservative.
00:01:13.560 You almost have to come out as a conservative, right?
00:01:16.200 And so I started my journey as a YouTuber for a year, speaking about subjects and exploring subjects that you wouldn't usually talk about normally over the dinner table.
00:01:28.500 And I followed Rebel News for years, since the days of many other contributors to Rebel in the UK and obviously over in Canada.
00:01:40.420 And I have a year, many as well, still going strong.
00:01:44.300 So I applied as a reporter.
00:01:46.680 I thought I'd shoot my shit as they will.
00:01:51.300 Oh, that's the end of the sentence.
00:01:52.640 Okay.
00:01:53.260 I wasn't sure where that was going.
00:01:55.240 What did you submit a video?
00:01:56.960 Did you have a trial video?
00:01:58.760 How did that come about when you got hired?
00:02:00.400 Yeah, I was covering my first ever anti-lockdown protest, and I was asked to submit a video in the style of Rebel News.
00:02:12.720 And it was literally me going around asking if you date someone who's vaccinated was my submission.
00:02:22.740 And now here we are.
00:02:24.360 I'm annoying you every single day at 5 p.m.
00:02:27.720 Did, at what point did you get involved in politics?
00:02:32.740 Were you always political?
00:02:34.540 Obviously, it's not always, you know, the most polite thing to do in English culture is to talk politics at dinner, as you would say.
00:02:41.340 But did you get involved in politics at a younger age?
00:02:44.420 At what point did you say, you know, I have to start saying things or else I'm going to go mad here?
00:02:48.600 So, believe it or not, I was a communist back in the days of being at school and high school.
00:02:57.120 Believe it or not, I believed all that nonsense.
00:03:01.480 And, yeah, I studied politics.
00:03:04.780 I unfortunately failed it.
00:03:06.180 And I think there's a reason for that, being a communist.
00:03:09.440 And when Brexit happened, that's when politics really started to take my attention.
00:03:19.340 And, yeah, the Brexit deal really did divide the nation.
00:03:24.360 And I noticed my first ever confrontation with other peers when Brexit would come about as the subject.
00:03:32.340 Just retaining that sovereignty, not going through Belgium or Brussels to pass laws through.
00:03:39.040 And it really woke me up.
00:03:40.020 And then Trump happened.
00:03:41.640 And that really got things going.
00:03:43.680 And I realized that, actually, I'm more in common with the right and conservatism than I originally thought.
00:03:51.100 So, very interesting stuff.
00:03:53.520 Obviously, Trump was for the presidency.
00:03:56.720 I always sort of thought that Brexit was sort of an odd thing for everything to be made a stand on.
00:04:02.700 I mean, when they were joining the European Union, I don't know for sure, but I doubt there is this huge division of people down the middle of politics.
00:04:11.460 And from what I remember as a kid, as a teenager, the selling point for the European Union is, well, you get to travel across international borders without having to go through customs and everything.
00:04:23.180 And that was always the big thing, that young people wanted this.
00:04:26.120 That's what they sold them all.
00:04:27.460 I always thought it was a little bit weird that that would be, that would turn out to be the thing that broke the camel's back, so to speak, in terms of politics and separate everybody.
00:04:35.540 I guess it had to be something around that time period.
00:04:38.580 But why do you think that this became such a divisive topic amongst people in the UK?
00:04:45.560 That's such a good question.
00:04:47.440 I don't know.
00:04:48.540 Maybe the media had a part of it.
00:04:50.140 Maybe it was the politicians.
00:04:51.640 I mean, all it does is line the pockets with them being in the EU.
00:04:54.480 That was their main concern.
00:04:57.140 And people like Nigel Farage and the United Kingdom Independence Party, who really, really was pushing for independence, really showed that other side.
00:05:06.780 It showed that the EU were just this tyrannical, bureaucratic board of people just ordering other countries about.
00:05:16.200 And I think they wanted to even start their own army at one point.
00:05:19.400 And when you dig to the real deeper intention of the EU and the EU Commission, you do find some really dark things.
00:05:28.840 And, yeah, I didn't like that.
00:05:30.360 But mostly what sold it for me was the fact that we couldn't have entire sovereignty of our own nation.
00:05:37.400 And we had to pass almost like a law check through the EU body.
00:05:41.920 And it just didn't make sense to me.
00:05:43.740 Why are we going through the EU to even pass our own laws in our own country?
00:05:47.980 It didn't make sense.
00:05:49.140 So for me, it was a no-brainer.
00:05:51.280 I can't explain the divisiveness.
00:05:53.060 I think people just latch on to anything they read online most of the time, don't they?
00:05:58.340 We'll blame you instead then.
00:06:00.200 When Boris Johnson got elected, it was a bit of a landslide from what I recall.
00:06:06.040 Did you think everything was starting to finally turn around in a better direction?
00:06:10.800 Forget left or right, but just a more sane direction?
00:06:13.780 Because obviously the UK has always been a little bit more, you know, rainbow police squads
00:06:19.040 and sending Twitter messages out that were coming to stop you for your Facebook posts.
00:06:24.060 Australia has far surpassed you guys at this point.
00:06:26.440 But when Boris got elected in such a strong majority,
00:06:30.520 did you sort of think things were going to go in a different direction?
00:06:34.300 Yeah, I did.
00:06:35.140 I voted for Boris as well.
00:06:37.740 I'm starting, well, do I regret that vote?
00:06:40.780 It's hard to say.
00:06:42.280 But when I did vote for Boris, I did have a lot of confidence.
00:06:45.280 You know, his strong message was he was going to get Brexit done and turn things around
00:06:50.440 and make this country a better place.
00:06:52.440 And we were hoping he would do something in terms of our free speech laws
00:06:55.540 that have been going about since the Tony Blair days.
00:06:58.320 So we were hoping with this majority, he might be able to jump in and sort out our laws with that.
00:07:03.620 But nothing has ever been done.
00:07:05.160 In fact, they're making it even worse.
00:07:07.300 They've cracked down on protests.
00:07:09.060 They're cracking down now on the online hate speech bill or something like that,
00:07:12.840 where they want to go after people with anonymity on sites such as Twitter.
00:07:19.800 And they're really taking into account meme tweets more than actual policing.
00:07:23.920 So, yeah, unfortunately, I thought it was going to be greener,
00:07:27.660 but it turns out it was the Green Party that I did vote for.
00:07:31.740 Yeah, and speaking of the protests, you mentioned on a live stream we did
00:07:36.080 about what I think is the saddest slash funniest protest cause.
00:07:39.840 It's so British and so English.
00:07:43.080 I just want to show some of the video, and then I want you to describe it to the audience.
00:07:49.300 Okay, so we have somebody gluing their hand to the pavement.
00:07:55.480 We have another person gluing their face to the pavement.
00:07:58.700 Tell the audience what this is in protest of, please.
00:08:01.720 This is in protest of the insulation of houses in Britain, government installation of insulation,
00:08:13.500 which is mental.
00:08:16.400 It's mental.
00:08:17.200 It doesn't make sense.
00:08:18.680 And on top of that, I think they're worried about the ice caps melting in the Arctic,
00:08:23.040 so they're gluing their faces to the M25.
00:08:25.840 Totally related.
00:08:26.720 What's the reason they're demanding this?
00:08:30.940 First of all, why is there no insulation in England?
00:08:33.620 Are houses just so old that there's no insulation?
00:08:36.360 Because that seems like a normal thing.
00:08:37.680 But also, what are their demands?
00:08:40.320 I think their demands is to tackle the climate.
00:08:44.000 They believe that not enough is being done to tackle climate change.
00:08:47.860 They believe that we need to invest more in greener solutions,
00:08:52.440 which they're not sustainable, in my honest opinion, I don't think,
00:08:57.680 when the government already are, I think, putting their budget into,
00:09:02.580 I think, a £1 million spending in insulation for homes in Britain anyway.
00:09:08.260 So I'm not quite sure what exactly they're protesting about anyway,
00:09:13.140 because they're on the establishment side, from what we can see.
00:09:17.040 Boris is really pushing for green policies ever since his missus got into power with him.
00:09:22.440 So it's quite an interesting thing to see.
00:09:25.260 Being honest, I don't quite know what they're protesting about anymore.
00:09:30.720 I'm looking forward to re-shingle England, something like that.
00:09:35.820 Drivewaypavingfirst.com.
00:09:37.360 Is this sort of a sign that there's not much left to protest about?
00:09:40.400 I mean, this past year, year and a half, has been, I think,
00:09:45.100 and I hate to say terms of far left or far right,
00:09:47.320 but somebody who's a bit of an authoritarian leftist,
00:09:50.540 I think it's been a bit of their dream.
00:09:52.380 They get to tell people what to do.
00:09:53.760 They get to yell in their face.
00:09:55.140 They get to kick people out of places on their whim.
00:10:00.200 What sort of things are left here to protest about
00:10:03.080 if we're going for insulation at this point, I wonder?
00:10:07.760 I think that there are still some things to protest about.
00:10:10.720 I mean, in terms, if you want to talk about vaccination mandates,
00:10:14.680 obviously what's going on there, vaccine passports
00:10:17.980 and other COVID-related issues,
00:10:22.500 I believe there's definitely a reason to get out on the streets for that.
00:10:28.440 In terms of climate change,
00:10:31.180 well, making a good visit to the old Extinction Rebellion in Glasgow next week.
00:10:38.020 So we're going to see what they have to say.
00:10:40.420 So I can't really speak on their behalf for now
00:10:43.700 because I'm quite keen to see what they think.
00:10:49.440 Yeah, there are many things still, I believe,
00:10:51.960 to be voicing concern over.
00:10:54.820 But to glue yourself to the middle of the road,
00:10:58.960 I don't think is going to get the message across.
00:11:02.020 Yeah, there's going to be some terrible injuries
00:11:03.740 if people keep gluing their face to hot asphalt.
00:11:06.220 I'm just guessing.
00:11:07.480 I'm no medical technician,
00:11:08.860 but we're going to get some skin grafts from that, I think.
00:11:11.600 I want to move on to soccer players.
00:11:13.960 Don't laugh at that, Louis.
00:11:15.180 It's not funny.
00:11:16.180 I'm sorry.
00:11:16.940 I'm sorry.
00:11:18.340 Soccer players kneeling in England is still,
00:11:20.900 sorry, football players is still a thing.
00:11:23.260 I mean, I think you guys are a couple of years behind on this.
00:11:26.020 The national team did it at the last international tournament.
00:11:29.980 They get booed at the Euros, got booed.
00:11:32.920 They're facing off against other countries
00:11:34.540 who don't understand what's going on.
00:11:36.480 Now, not to say that there isn't racism in soccer.
00:11:39.340 There's been for a long time.
00:11:40.500 But I just want to show some of the players defending it
00:11:43.500 and a couple of players that are opposing it.
00:11:46.540 So, I mean, we've faced backlash or criticism
00:11:49.700 or opposing views on taking the knee before.
00:11:52.680 And we've stood collectively quite passionately together.
00:12:00.400 And that's something that I think carries us as a squad.
00:12:05.240 I feel like taking the knee is degrading stuff
00:12:10.460 because growing up, my parents just let me know
00:12:18.280 that I should be proud to be black no matter what.
00:12:21.980 And I just feel like we should just stand to it.
00:12:24.520 My support for what it is that we're trying to achieve is absolute.
00:12:31.980 But I do not support Black Lives Matter as an institution,
00:12:35.560 as an organization.
00:12:36.360 So, I believe there we have a player that played
00:12:40.320 on the national team, Mings.
00:12:41.880 Then you've got Wilfried Zaha, who's actually from the Ivory Coast.
00:12:45.420 And then one of the lower league English players there.
00:12:49.100 He's against it for BLM reasons.
00:12:51.580 Why the kneeling, Lewis?
00:12:52.720 Is there a agreed upon reason why all the players are kneeling?
00:12:56.340 I think it's just a protest racism just in general, isn't it?
00:12:59.640 Yeah, I mean, we've had kick it out for a number of years
00:13:05.120 because, yes, there is racism.
00:13:08.520 Well, there's racism in most things nowadays.
00:13:12.380 It's a shame, but unfortunately, it is what it is.
00:13:16.780 And, you know, to tackle that and raise awareness,
00:13:19.200 we had kick it out in football to show that.
00:13:22.260 And nobody ever booed that.
00:13:23.900 Nobody was ever against that.
00:13:25.700 The problem we have with this is the fact that the knee
00:13:28.700 represents an organization that wants to defund the police,
00:13:32.780 abolish prisons, and disrupt the family unit and end capitalism.
00:13:37.760 Hmm.
00:13:38.420 Yeah.
00:13:38.800 So, the people that understand that have a reason to boo
00:13:43.720 and say, we don't want this.
00:13:45.140 We don't want politics in sport.
00:13:46.960 We want to sit down, watch a football match,
00:13:50.000 without politics interjecting within our own,
00:13:53.300 the comfort of our own living room.
00:13:54.920 You know, we're constantly seeing politics all around work
00:13:58.360 on social media and everything.
00:13:59.860 And we just want to sit down, just enjoy a football match
00:14:03.580 without any of it.
00:14:05.760 But the problem is with this, there's a lot of pressure
00:14:09.540 with the media and, of course, the FA or FIFA
00:14:14.360 saying to players that they need to take the knee
00:14:18.560 in order to show this solidarity.
00:14:21.320 Because if you're against it, you're against black people
00:14:24.200 or you're against, you're for racism, which is a weird flex.
00:14:31.040 Do you think it's just, do you think it's just a generic
00:14:33.660 virtue signal now?
00:14:34.680 Because it's come and gone in North America now.
00:14:38.780 There was a specific reason that Colin Kaepernick gave,
00:14:41.740 you know, police brutality and unjust government there.
00:14:44.500 It seems like a weird thing to co-op when it's got a specific,
00:14:47.520 you know, American problem tied to it.
00:14:50.820 And now you've got British people.
00:14:52.300 I think the only people that were killed by police in England
00:14:54.880 were terrorists on the bridge.
00:14:57.880 It just seems like now it's become an empty gesture
00:15:00.820 in the UK, which is just things you have to conform
00:15:04.240 and do it or else you're going to be seen as a bad person.
00:15:08.400 Do you think that's true?
00:15:10.320 Absolutely.
00:15:11.020 Yeah, I can agree with you.
00:15:12.260 I think it's almost like we're trying to outwoke the Americans,
00:15:16.520 which I don't know.
00:15:18.380 I don't know who's going to win out of that
00:15:19.600 because we're looking pretty woke.
00:15:20.860 I mean, if you go down Brighton, you'll understand why.
00:15:24.440 But in terms of that, it's just pressure.
00:15:30.100 I think it's just media pressure.
00:15:31.860 And I'm not going to sit here and say, oh, Harry Kane's kneeling,
00:15:34.740 so therefore he's a Marxist.
00:15:36.060 That's mental.
00:15:37.360 Like, that's just mental.
00:15:38.900 So there is that you've got to look into it a little bit more.
00:15:41.920 They're obviously having some pressure.
00:15:43.940 They're not, of course, going to boycott Qatar
00:15:45.880 for all the modern-day slavers who have died creating the stadium
00:15:51.780 for them to play in.
00:15:52.860 They're not going to be talking about that.
00:15:54.260 And I think sports commentators have outright refused
00:15:58.140 to even speak about it.
00:15:59.940 So it does show hypocrisy there.
00:16:02.680 So, yeah, it's a type of narrative that the managers, the FA, FIFA,
00:16:08.880 whoever, are really trying to push towards.
00:16:11.900 Because it's a money-making scheme as well.
00:16:13.600 It generates money.
00:16:15.520 For sure.
00:16:16.400 And I don't think anybody would argue that the message has been, you know,
00:16:20.860 lost or anything like that in America.
00:16:22.940 They've moved on to, like, the NBA, for example, painted Black Lives Matter
00:16:27.400 on their courts, wore it on their jerseys, on their shoes,
00:16:30.080 and they're not even kneeling anymore.
00:16:31.420 So it seems like it's just, like, a thing, like, you do this
00:16:34.240 or else we're going to say you're a bad person.
00:16:36.340 I want to move back to Boris Johnson.
00:16:38.740 Have you been seeing these really weird Build Back Better videos of his,
00:16:43.340 the Fish and Chips video?
00:16:45.060 I can't think of all of them off the top of my head.
00:16:47.900 There's been so many.
00:16:48.720 That one sticks out in my mind.
00:16:50.740 What about this whole narrative is conservative?
00:16:54.500 How are they explaining?
00:16:55.660 Like, he's come out and said, like, we need a more feminine future.
00:16:59.420 Really weird things.
00:17:01.640 How do you explain this to somebody who's not, you know,
00:17:04.200 familiar with maybe his weirdness?
00:17:06.980 It's very difficult to explain.
00:17:10.600 Yes, I have seen the Build Back Batter, Build Back Butter,
00:17:17.000 Build Back Whatever he's been going on about,
00:17:19.880 really pushing that strange dystopian message out.
00:17:24.400 Yeah.
00:17:25.040 Is there a Butter video?
00:17:27.120 There is.
00:17:27.920 There is.
00:17:28.560 He's scraping.
00:17:29.420 He's scraping butter on toast saying Build Back Butter.
00:17:32.520 It's very cringe.
00:17:33.920 I actually, I felt a little bit sick.
00:17:36.880 I might have to stop, actually, because I feel a bit ill.
00:17:40.560 No.
00:17:41.020 I think, how do I explain that to someone?
00:17:45.440 Well, a conservative party over in the UK are not conservative anymore.
00:17:50.100 They're actually more liberal.
00:17:51.380 There's been a decline in conservatism within the UK.
00:17:56.600 Their principles are slowly dwindled.
00:17:59.220 And you can only just look at their policymaking to even see this.
00:18:03.300 I mean, what is it you mentioned?
00:18:04.640 I actually failed to see that one.
00:18:06.560 Was it about Boris saying that the future is more feminine?
00:18:10.780 What was he going on about?
00:18:11.760 I believe he said we need to build back better and perhaps in an even more feminine way.
00:18:15.560 Yes.
00:18:17.480 No, I do remember that.
00:18:18.860 I do remember that.
00:18:19.620 That was quite, yeah, that was last year, I believe.
00:18:23.200 Was it last year?
00:18:24.560 It couldn't have been too far.
00:18:26.600 Like, a few months ago.
00:18:28.380 I do remember that.
00:18:29.360 Up to date on all of his memes.
00:18:31.320 Sorry.
00:18:31.760 I've got the memory like Joe Biden, mate.
00:18:34.000 So apologies.
00:18:35.920 Yeah.
00:18:36.280 I don't know what he's going on about.
00:18:39.000 I'm just, I'm actually quite confused to where the Conservative Party has fallen to.
00:18:44.520 But like I said, it's just an uptake in liberalism now.
00:18:48.420 And they call themselves liberals, but they're adding all of this dystopian, horrible legislation
00:18:55.240 where you're going to see a two-tier society with the vaxxed and non-vaxxed.
00:18:58.820 So there's so many avenues to go through.
00:19:01.200 But majority of their policies are turning very liberal.
00:19:04.800 Yeah, I think the windows really shift there.
00:19:07.660 They had a big push towards, and I mean everywhere, big push towards Conservative parties, especially
00:19:12.460 in Canada.
00:19:13.600 It was the majority of provinces were run by Conservatives.
00:19:16.700 And all of a sudden, now the Conservative is where the Liberals were.
00:19:20.420 And the Liberals are where the, you know, far left is.
00:19:23.400 And there's not really anything to the right of the major parties anymore.
00:19:28.160 I want to combine Joe Biden and the green stuff.
00:19:30.480 And I want to show a clip of your green initiative video outside of the power plant.
00:19:34.800 Wonderful imagery.
00:19:36.180 You'll be hired by the power plant soon, I'm sure, after we show this clip.
00:19:40.700 Is that there will be less harmful emissions being pushed into the atmosphere.
00:19:44.700 So traditionally, coal would be extracted from the ground and burnt here to produce energy.
00:19:50.220 So now with the push for green and cleaner alternatives, the power station has come up with the idea
00:19:55.840 of burning green biomass.
00:19:57.800 This green alternative has come at a price for the taxpayers.
00:20:01.340 Drax power station has received hundreds of millions in government subsidies.
00:20:06.500 We constantly hear from politicians about carbon targets, climate change, and of course,
00:20:11.760 we need to do better.
00:20:13.140 And all this climate alarmism from activists and Greta Thunberg.
00:20:17.800 But in the reality of it, in the UK, the government is forcing many into a fuel poverty.
00:20:23.240 Whilst over in China, their way out of an energy crisis is to produce more coal power stations.
00:20:30.620 It's quite obvious to see that China does not have the same eco-fanaticism that we do here
00:20:35.580 in the West.
00:20:36.800 Now, in the UK, fuel and energy prices are starting to spike.
00:20:41.540 So the public are going to be asking, at what cost does the green revolution come?
00:20:45.560 Okay, a lot of people don't realize the footprint, I think, that these programs tend to have.
00:20:52.100 Some of them that I wrote down are like paper straws, boxed water, even like electric car
00:20:57.920 batteries.
00:20:59.220 What do you think is powering those things?
00:21:00.780 How do you think they're being charged?
00:21:02.440 So what do you think, and this is a serious question for once, Louis, what do you think
00:21:06.360 should be the balancing act of, you know, pollution reduction versus tax increases and cost
00:21:11.800 increases for the average person?
00:21:13.280 Do you think the Conservative Party should be spearheading this thing?
00:21:17.220 Because that's what it seems.
00:21:18.440 Liberal Party and Green Parties don't actually do anything.
00:21:20.860 It seems to be the Conservative Parties that actually want to do things, even if it's for,
00:21:25.100 you know, means that you and I might not agree with.
00:21:27.300 What do you think is the perfect balance there?
00:21:30.400 I don't see why we should go nuclear.
00:21:33.260 I think that's a cleaner and more efficient energy.
00:21:36.060 And I believe that that's a way that can be costly and not too hard hitting on the taxpayer
00:21:42.020 and still reduce emissions.
00:21:43.860 Look, I'm no eco warrior.
00:21:45.500 I think you've worked that out.
00:21:47.000 And I think I said that in my video as well.
00:21:49.360 And, you know, pushing this agenda of banning petrol and diesel by 2030 is just absolute rubbish.
00:21:58.120 And trying to get everyone onto electric cars and go onto that, when not actually realizing
00:22:04.500 that to power these electric cars, you've got to build the batteries.
00:22:07.280 And that takes out carbon emissions.
00:22:09.380 It's all a big, you know, circle.
00:22:11.800 And, you know, your phone distributes about 1.225 million tons or something of, sorry,
00:22:21.740 1.2 million tons of carbon emissions.
00:22:25.400 So what are we going to do?
00:22:26.120 Start banning phones.
00:22:27.700 You know, how far are they going to start pushing it?
00:22:30.200 So I don't know.
00:22:31.240 I think the balance would be nuclear is probably a better way of putting it.
00:22:36.060 But, yeah, this idea of pushing towards that and so much more increasing the budget, sorry,
00:22:43.060 of insulation and I think they wanted to power a town just with hydrogen as well.
00:22:49.840 So we'll see how that works.
00:22:51.500 So I don't know.
00:22:53.860 I think it's awesome.
00:22:54.360 Aqua cars and all that.
00:22:55.940 You said as well this was a serious question.
00:22:58.000 I've turned it around.
00:22:58.860 Yeah, there's no getting through to you, I guess, is the problem we're running into here.
00:23:03.560 No, I tend to agree.
00:23:04.880 It's like we want to build back better.
00:23:08.100 We want to turn everything green until it becomes an inconvenience to me.
00:23:11.500 You see all the protesters with iPhones.
00:23:13.580 Well, how do you think makes that?
00:23:14.920 Where do you think the lithium is mined in Africa?
00:23:18.060 It's not on some grandiose scale where the workers have risen up and fought for an amazing wage with their landlords bending over backwards to serve them.
00:23:29.480 It's not the world that they want to paint it.
00:23:31.760 And as soon as it comes to home, well, they don't really want to do it.
00:23:34.660 It's the same thing sort of like Justin Trudeau here.
00:23:37.200 I always like to go back to his relationship with the native Canadian population, whereas he's the loving feminist prime minister, but he can't get you running water, even though he cares about every minority.
00:23:50.320 But to hell with your water supply, I'll come and cry with you, but then I'll invent a holiday to reconcile with you, but also go on vacation.
00:23:59.780 And Justin Trudeau now has been vacationing so much, Lewis, that he's developing like sunspot freckles on his face, which you don't usually just develop at the age of 50, however old he is.
00:24:09.900 He's just been out in the sun so much the last summer that he's got freckles on his face now.
00:24:14.140 It's pretty fascinating to watch.
00:24:15.760 Did Boris run on any of this green energy stuff?
00:24:18.340 Was this in his platform?
00:24:19.560 Because I know the Conservatives here, even though they lost, they had a very strategic, you know, climate change platform.
00:24:27.640 It was not carbon tax, but it actually was.
00:24:29.820 But I just want to know if you recall Boris running on anything to do with green energy and climate change.
00:24:37.560 To do with climate change and environmentalism, I believe they wanted to plant a good amount of trees.
00:24:44.360 I think that was one of the big policies.
00:24:47.200 Very 1992 of them.
00:24:49.560 Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
00:24:51.500 And, you know, I think Farage is pushing this as well, Nigel Farage.
00:24:55.260 And, you know, I don't see a problem with that at all.
00:24:57.580 I think Labour tried to push this idea of planting trees, but they'd done a number so ridiculous that it was just laughed at.
00:25:05.820 So at least when they came, when they put out their manifesto, the Conservative Party, they actually gave a reasonable number.
00:25:12.460 And it was one that you could go, OK, you know, we're on board with that.
00:25:15.920 It's not too costly and it helps.
00:25:18.280 So, you know, great.
00:25:19.080 I think it's until Carrie came in, his missus has really started to warp the party and start to push out all this mental, radical green policy.
00:25:32.800 So I think that's where we're starting to see the shift.
00:25:35.300 And we're all a bit when she when she came into the cabinet, we did start to see the shift and we were all a bit concerned on where this is going.
00:25:45.140 And it's just proof that it was going the bad way.
00:25:49.680 Why do you think there's such a demand for the for lack of a better term, like the platitude policies?
00:25:56.360 Do you think that they think this is the only way that they can win?
00:25:59.680 I'm talking about Conservative parties across the world.
00:26:01.780 They seem to always want to inject the stuff that being a grassroots supporter, you may not think that has anywhere or anything to do with what you think that they believe in.
00:26:12.340 Do you think they're sort of forced to inject this to try to an attempt to steal votes from the other side or please the Twitter crowd?
00:26:18.960 Where do you think this comes from?
00:26:21.380 Well, the dominant narrative now is climate change.
00:26:24.500 Well, it will be after COVID.
00:26:26.060 And they've already made plans to, of course, push this idea out.
00:26:29.580 The media are on board.
00:26:30.520 The corporations are on board with it.
00:26:32.400 So it's only fitting that the politicians are on board with it, too.
00:26:36.680 So this is the main reason why.
00:26:38.760 We're going to start seeing a lot more to do with climate change as well, dominating the narratives.
00:26:44.660 I have a prediction that we're even going to be looking at climate lockdowns and possibly reduction in what you eat, whether it be red meat or I think MasterCard of even wanting to bring out a card that could potentially make a point system.
00:26:59.160 So if you go over your emissions, it stops you from spending that amount.
00:27:03.540 So they're all tied in with each other, I believe.
00:27:07.160 So we are going to see this big, big narrative being spewed out by the media, by the politicians, by the Conservative Party as well, who have the majority here in the UK and around the world as well, other Conservative parties, too.
00:27:22.220 So I think that that's what we're going to be seeing.
00:27:24.420 It sounds like you've been reading yourself some Klaus Schwab, some Build Back Better stuff.
00:27:29.140 I love Klaus Schwab.
00:27:30.540 The writer Dave in the back is really pushing the Klaus Schwab book.
00:27:34.080 He says he reads it in a German accent.
00:27:36.960 But that's MasterCard is one of the people that were involved in the Build Back Better plan with a bunch of the world leaders and a bunch of the other large multinational corporations.
00:27:49.200 So I predict pretty much the similar thing.
00:27:52.240 You know, every three months they say maybe we should eat the bugs now.
00:27:55.620 Is it time to start eating the bugs?
00:27:57.260 So you guys considered cricket protein?
00:28:00.880 And then they've got that post from a couple of years ago.
00:28:03.520 I think it was, we need to start reducing our consumption of beef.
00:28:08.240 That should become a treat, you guys.
00:28:09.760 Only the cool people should.
00:28:11.180 That seems to be the direction they're going, I think, Lewis, is the ultra elite class where we can afford to drive cars.
00:28:18.860 We can afford to eat beef and fly on planes.
00:28:20.900 And unless you're rich, you can't afford the taxes that come with it.
00:28:24.780 Another person that's on that Build Back Better list is the New Zealand Prime Minister.
00:28:29.780 She's really something else.
00:28:31.040 She used to be part of the socialist group.
00:28:34.400 She called herself a democratic socialist, which I think is a made-up term.
00:28:38.340 She had this really strange video that I want to show of her basically agreeing that she's segregating people.
00:28:43.900 So let's see that.
00:28:45.160 So you basically said this is going to be like, well, it's almost like you probably don't see it like this.
00:28:50.400 The two different classes of people, if you're vaccinated or if you're unvaccinated, you have all these rights.
00:28:54.520 If you are vaccinated.
00:28:55.620 That is what it is.
00:28:56.700 So, yep.
00:28:57.680 Yep.
00:28:58.360 Can you describe that you were previously hoping not to be able to, not to have to do that, I guess, when we still looked like we could maintain elimination across the whole country.
00:29:05.540 I guess that has now changed because I think it was less because necessarily of the elimination determining that and more because we, of course, maintained.
00:29:15.260 And actually, we have managed very high vaccination rates generally without the use of certificates.
00:29:22.260 So with her really, she just looks so Australian Kiwi.
00:29:26.580 Like she just looks like a caricature of it.
00:29:29.600 And it's really weird as we see her being asked if this is creating, you know, segregation of two-tier society.
00:29:36.000 She's like, yes, that's exactly what it is.
00:29:37.940 My question to you is, have they become so confident in their platform and their support that they basically see nothing wrong with segregation of their society?
00:29:48.400 They are laughing at us, mate.
00:29:50.540 They're laughing at me and you and the ordinary working man of this.
00:29:54.200 They are literally, they're flaunting it now.
00:29:57.060 It's not a matter of conspiracy anymore.
00:29:59.020 We all thought that it could possibly make a two-tier system.
00:30:02.700 It is.
00:30:03.240 We all know it was going to.
00:30:04.860 And now they're laughing at us.
00:30:06.400 And she's just doing that.
00:30:08.100 Feminists not so long ago were pouring their heart out on social media saying that she's a strong, independent woman who can lead a country into greatness.
00:30:17.020 And then now it's really shown what she really is, and that's some radical tyrant that takes pleasure in taking away people who are unvaccinated, their freedoms, just because.
00:30:29.980 I mean, we've been seeing radical plans for locking down the entire country over, I think it was one or two cases, which is nuts.
00:30:38.360 And so, yeah, what can I say about her?
00:30:42.940 She's just, she's just a lovely person.
00:30:45.420 And I'd love to meet her.
00:30:46.840 She'd be lovely.
00:30:47.420 She famously, almost George Bush, like, made the declaration that COVID was defeated.
00:30:52.480 And they had extremely harsh lockdowns.
00:30:55.160 And they were all just being like, see, it works.
00:30:56.640 People still say that about Australia.
00:30:58.320 See, it works.
00:30:58.900 Only a couple hundred people died.
00:31:00.780 And then the cases keep going up and the infection rates keep going up.
00:31:03.760 And they're just like, well, we can't back off now.
00:31:06.140 We already promised people, our population, that that was going to be the solution.
00:31:11.160 So we can't say it isn't.
00:31:12.500 And that's a big problem I'm seeing it most, whether it's on purpose or whether it's just people not willing to admit that they're wrong.
00:31:19.560 That's what I'm seeing from the politicians is there's no accountability in any genre.
00:31:24.220 And something I was listening to recently was talking about, if you recall, Joe Biden, they missiled.
00:31:32.460 I don't remember which type of missile it was.
00:31:34.480 I think a drone strike, a bunch of children in the Middle East.
00:31:38.540 And nobody was held responsible for that.
00:31:40.560 Nobody was fired.
00:31:41.940 There's just no level of a culpability or responsibility in the government.
00:31:46.920 Nobody ever gets fired for anything.
00:31:48.460 And it's really weird because then you have to keep building upon the lie that they've done nothing wrong.
00:31:53.440 And I see that a lot in Canada specifically, our province.
00:31:57.940 They just pretend like nothing bad has happened.
00:32:01.380 So they just keep moving forward and forward.
00:32:03.480 And for those of the population who don't pay attention to the news or anything, they can look at somebody and say, I don't think there's anything that they've done wrong, really, or else the news would have reported on it.
00:32:14.320 It's the same thing that happened with Obama.
00:32:16.600 They called it a scandal-free administration, which, of course, wasn't the case.
00:32:21.500 But that's just my two cents, Lewis.
00:32:23.760 You can cut that for your own channel if you don't.
00:32:26.460 Oh, yeah.
00:32:27.020 Thank you.
00:32:27.680 I want to close with British questions.
00:32:30.420 That's the segment I'm most looking forward to.
00:32:32.600 It's in capital letters on the bottom of my card.
00:32:34.660 Something I actually saw a guy post earlier today that I wrote down.
00:32:39.860 Salad cream?
00:32:41.880 Yeah.
00:32:42.420 What is that?
00:32:43.720 Just please explain.
00:32:46.440 It's cream that goes in your salad, mate.
00:32:49.720 Is it salad dressing?
00:32:51.220 Is that the same thing?
00:32:52.720 Same thing.
00:32:53.900 Yeah, pretty much the same thing.
00:32:55.620 Why?
00:32:55.880 Stupid Heinz makes it.
00:32:57.560 This is the picture I saw.
00:32:59.300 Heinz is not supposed to make salad dressing.
00:33:01.040 Not all salad dressings are made from cream.
00:33:05.960 So what happens when you've got, like, French dressing or Russian dressing?
00:33:09.760 What is it called then?
00:33:11.780 You sound like a liberal, mate.
00:33:14.080 I want to know where these English people think that they can just call anything,
00:33:18.580 whatever they want, and then just everybody has to go with it.
00:33:22.340 Oh, well, you know, what can I say?
00:33:24.340 It's a topsy-turvy one because, you know, we helped out quite greatly.
00:33:29.880 But I'm not going to go there.
00:33:32.480 The term geezer, of course, in America and Canada, it means an old person.
00:33:36.780 What does it mean there?
00:33:38.880 Geezer is, like, he's one of the good lads.
00:33:42.900 Like, oh, yeah, he's a top geezer.
00:33:44.500 He's just a guy that's, like, you know, really cool.
00:33:47.360 He's a good geezer.
00:33:48.660 What does it derive from?
00:33:49.580 Over there, it's old.
00:33:51.500 That is a good question.
00:33:52.260 I think it's Cockney rhyming slang.
00:33:55.180 Or just Cockney.
00:33:56.780 That's a whole episode on its own.
00:33:58.540 Just coming up with phrases because they rhyme.
00:34:01.440 This is angering.
00:34:03.860 Lewis, I'm sorry.
00:34:05.120 Oh, man.
00:34:06.040 Just come to England.
00:34:07.100 We'll go to the pub, mate.
00:34:08.180 We'll go and have some beers, right?
00:34:09.620 And we'll just recite a verse off, right?
00:34:12.180 You'll be happy as ever, man.
00:34:14.040 Two more to go.
00:34:15.180 Russell Brand's T-shirts.
00:34:17.180 They're circular.
00:34:18.640 They come down to about here.
00:34:21.540 I know he wants to show his chest hair.
00:34:23.880 Is this a thing that people do, or is that just, like, his edgy personality?
00:34:28.240 No, it's just Russell Brand and his crusty hippie following.
00:34:31.640 That's all it is.
00:34:32.800 He's turned the corner on a lot of subjects.
00:34:34.820 He's actually pretty reasonable now.
00:34:37.240 Yeah.
00:34:37.560 Yeah, he's all right on some things.
00:34:38.900 He's still got a bit of a way to go with capitalism, though.
00:34:41.200 He thinks that cronyism and capitalism is the same thing when, you know, and then you
00:34:45.400 question him about it and say, can you name a better system?
00:34:47.960 And he goes, oh, no, I'm not going to make up some utopia and give you a better solution.
00:34:53.440 It's like, okay, well, you go and sit in the corner, mate, with your elite friends.
00:34:56.640 Okay, last one.
00:35:00.020 What do the British think of Austin Powers?
00:35:02.740 Was it a sad time?
00:35:04.760 Was it an angry time?
00:35:06.420 Are you okay with being parodied that way?
00:35:09.780 We love Austin Powers.
00:35:11.420 Austin Powers is great.
00:35:12.960 I've watched all of them.
00:35:14.300 They're great.
00:35:14.920 They're very funny.
00:35:16.000 We don't take offense.
00:35:17.520 We love the banter over here.
00:35:19.060 We think it's great.
00:35:20.020 So more of that.
00:35:21.320 It's absolutely fine.
00:35:22.840 As long as we can do it back, no problems.
00:35:24.720 No, you can't do that.
00:35:25.720 I'm sorry.
00:35:26.220 This is people dying in Canada.
00:35:28.480 We don't want to offend anybody.
00:35:30.500 Oh, yeah.
00:35:31.020 Well, we've got hate crime bills as well, mate.
00:35:32.820 So don't worry.
00:35:35.140 Are you going to dress up for Halloween?
00:35:37.220 I think I'm the only one here who wants to.
00:35:38.880 I want to, but what I'm going to do is just sit on my own on the computer.
00:35:43.800 I've got no mates, so what can I do?
00:35:46.400 Well, that's sad.
00:35:48.020 Take something.
00:35:50.120 Go through the catalog of Prince Harry and William's costumes.
00:35:53.460 Anything you take out of there can't be offensive.
00:35:55.680 I don't think the princes would do that.
00:35:57.940 I think they're respectable young men.
00:36:01.060 Very bold for a young man, William is, but still.
00:36:03.720 Poor guy.
00:36:06.380 He needs surgery.
00:36:07.520 He's got all that money, and he doesn't use it on surgery, does he?
00:36:11.700 Prince Harry needs to, or Prince William, I think it is, right?
00:36:15.240 He needs to hook up with Wayne Rooney for the hairline coverage.
00:36:19.220 Bless you, Wayne Rooney.
00:36:20.240 I'm sorry to bring you in this.
00:36:21.420 Anything else you want to say before we let you go, Lewis?
00:36:23.800 It's been a good time.
00:36:24.800 I always enjoy speaking to you.
00:36:27.080 Thank you.
00:36:27.720 Yeah, keep resisting what's been going on with this tyrannical measures all around the world at the minute with vaccine passports,
00:36:35.860 and remember that you are still a free individual, and you shouldn't let the tyrants win.
00:36:41.820 Salad cream.
00:36:42.740 It is what it is, you guys.
00:36:44.060 Thanks for watching.
00:36:45.660 Catch you next week.
00:36:46.420 Catch you next week.
